Subject: [PATCH v3 6/9] builtin/receive-pack: report unpack errors via strbuf
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:54:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811175415.2044235-7-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811175415.2044235-1-jltobler@gmail.com>
When writing packfiles via `unpack()`, error messages are returned
directly by the function. In preparation for `unpack()` logic being
moved behind a generic ODB transaction interface, update the function to
instead write any error messages to a caller provided strbuf and return
a negative value on error. Call sites are updated to use the error
strbuf accordingly.
